Q&A: Why is Exfoliation Key to Preventing Breakouts?

I understand that on occasion, exfoliation does get a bad rep yet if you are blemish-prone or suffering from acne, this can be a crucial step to reducing breakouts and preventing future breakouts. Sloughing off the “shedding” outer layer of skin plus any extra impurities helps stave off some of the nutrients that p acnes (Propionibacterium acnes) bacteria need to thrive. .
Some acids or my favourite multi-acid combos are just excellent for preventing blemishes (plus they can also be used as a spot treatment to tackle blemishes overnight). I’ll cover 3 great acids for tackling blemishes tomorrow. #bwspotseries #bwq&a
